Cedar Cove

Cedar Cove

10/10 Excellent
"Awkward driveway, possibly still under construction (?) Friendly front desk staff. Plenty of towels. Cozy but comfortable room. Dusty air vent in bathroom. WE LOVED FINDING A ROOM WITH 3 BEDS! All other minor shortcomings do not matter… traveling with my now adult son and daughter, this is perfect. Good value. Breakfast was meh, but we ate food at cedar point. Recommend! Good value and convenient location."

8/10 Good
"I have stayed here many times. I love the convenience of going to the park and walking (actually rolling back in wheelchair ) for a break. For the most part the room was good, but for the price they charge you should at least have toilet paper. I called down twice saying there's was none in bathroom. Never did get any. Good thing there was Kleenex. They're was also a lot of ants in waste basket. I to didn't notice that till leaving."
